Front Door

This place is worth a visit. The chiliaquiles set me back $20, but was very filling and pretty tasty. Not my all time favorite, but definitely satisfying. I'll probably pick a cheaper option next time. Coffee was good, servers were pleasant, and the overall ambiance was simple but good.

Dulce De Leche Crepe

Been wanting to try this place forever! Order before you sit down. Very reasonably priced menu. Amazing service, super friendly staff. Constant line, almost out the door so you know that's a good sign! We ordered the breakfast burrito which was sooo fresh, hot, & delicious. The crepes were just okay as they would've been better filled but still not bad! The fruit was very fresh. The hot sauce for the burrito was so good. Very cute diner feels in there. Busy & quick service! We will definitely be back & I recommend adding this to your places to try around Des Moines.

Huevos con Chorizo

A hidden gem for brunch! I cannot believe I haven't visited this place sooner. The location is pretty small, but very clean. And plenty of parking out front. Service is friendly. You have to go up to the front to order and pay first, they have menus on the counter if you need to browse before going in line. Food was very tasty! The huevos con chorizo was my favorite with the corn tortillas on the side. They also have bakery items at the front counter so I'll have to try those next time!

Always amazing. Husband got his Texas ribeye brunch with extra beans and no rice. The beans have an amazing flavor with a kick, a slight kick. Steak is tender. This time I got the Cuban. Holy smokes, the best around. Not only was it the most tender pork ever, but it wasn't dry. Not even close. I have no clue their secret. Bread was amazing and the ham and the cheese and pickle all blended great. My husband said he's getting it next time. You order at the register and seat yourself, but they do bring the food to you at the table. There's usually enough seating, but it can be busy. Another day where we just missed the rush thank goodness. Just a good vibe all around while you eat and it smells so good. Simple decor. Can't wait to go yet again.

Did not get the egg with the huevos rancheros, I wish there was more rice and beans instead of sauce. The tortillas were great, I should have asked if I could have added potatoes to the dish. They were so nice and answered our questions. Love how you pay before hand. Vanilla latte was so good!!

Good food!!

Tried Cafe con Leche at 2905 Hubbell today and it was absolutely delicious. Servers and workers were helpful and nice. Food came out quick. You order at the counter and then sit and wait for the food to be brought out to you. Texas Brunch: Ribeye, Eggs, Beans, Rice and Toast. So, so flavorful and delicious! Would def get again. The rice and beans alone were flavorful and good! Strawberry Nutella Crepes: kids loved this, we added ice cream on top Dulce De Leche Pancakes: Kids loved this as well. We added Strawberries and Bananas All-in-all, we would def come again if we were out this way. Hours are 8am-3pm. They serve breakfast, lunch and different coffees, lattes, shakes, etc...

Chilaquiles with pork
Dee W.

Yes! This was fantastic. Husband had the Diego and enjoyed the pancakes. I had the chilaquiles and loved them! Everything has great and distinct flavor including the coffee! It wasn't just trucker coffee. We will be back and maybe next Sunday!

Cute place!

Wow! Awesome brunch! Clean & cute! Hubby had a rice bowl with carnitas & it was huge! He loved it. Nice amount of meat with beans & rice & onions. Great presentation. I had chilaquiles--corn tortilla pieces with rice & an egg. I had it verde but I'm sure red sauce would be tasty as well. I did add some salsa. Filling! Two eggs would be a nice option. I couldn't pass on the Abuelita hot chocolate shake! Mmmmm... not just a regular shake but with ice in it, besides a lot of chocolate. Very pretty as well as extremely tasty!! The waitres was happy & helpful. Go there! Crepes are next on my list.

4.8* (out of 5) Food: 5* Atmosphere: 5* Value: 4*…read more Service: 5* Would I go back / Recommend?: 5* (Definitely) Total check/person: $35 01/22/2026 We returned to one of our favorite places downtown due to receiving a special offer through email. We started with a delicious Tupelo Margarita and a dark lager beer, from their good selection of tap beers. For our dinner, my wife ordered the Tupelo Shrimp & Grits (see picture) and I opted for the Smothered Chicken with cream corn and green beans (see picture) for sides. As we've come to expect from our visits to Tupelo Honey, both main dishes as well as the sides were delicious - chicken was crispy and juicy and both the Shrimp & Grits and cream corn were buttery and creamy. When they say Southern Comfort Food...they mean it! If you found this review helpful, please show your appreciation with a Like or a Follow.

I would like to preface this review by saying, the reason I gave 2 stars is because our server was…read moreso kind and the "Kiss My Grits" sign in the entrance of the restaurant was cute. As far as the remaining experience, significantly disappointing. I have never had such bland food in my life. I got the Chicken & Waffles, cooked perfectly, however the flavor profile was similar to that of loose leaf paper. I was so hungry coming from my flight that I ate it but it took likely enough salt and butter to raise my blood pressure for there to be a smidge of taste in my meal. It's a pretty restaurant to go grab drinks and maybe an appetizer but not much else. Overall 3/10.
